I have a 1991 d150 and am looking for new sockets for my reverse lights. Does anyone know where I can get some? They are rusted and crusted and broken. My stop, turn, & tail lamps are rusted too but they are still working. I found those on the napa website but they didn't list any for the reverse lights. Any help would be great!
Thanks,

I got one at Auto Value, it was $6.50 but I got some sort of discount, shouldn't be much more. Apparently they are just some generic Chrysler sockets.

 

they are the exact same socket as your front turn signals so you might be able to find some at the easily at the junk yard. the ones use in the front turn signals tend to be i good shape because they are not exposed to the element like the rear ones.

 

I will check the local yards and auto value...that would be sweet if I can find some. Thanks for the help.

 

So looking for turn signal sockets i found some at rock auto. They are 4 bucks! My only question is that they look just like the tail lamp, turn, and brake socket. But its 7 bucks cheaper....what is the diferance between these two sockets?

i don't know what the difference would be. mabe it is better quality? i replaced mine with some spare front turn signal sockets that i had removed from my parts van.

 

Reverse light sockets have a single contact while turn signal sockets (both front and rear) have dual contacts .

 

So do I just not hook up one of the wires to use it for the reverse light socket?

 

ya. the wires that make the lights the brightest are the ones needed for reverse.
